Aggies Move Into Tie for 10th Place

HOOVER, Ala. – No. 23 Texas A&M moved into a tie for 10th place at the SEC Women’s Golf Championships at the Greystone Golf & Country Club Saturday afternoon.

A&M moved up three spots in the standings, shooting 21-over, an improvement of nine strokes from the day before, sitting at 51-over (318-309) at the championships. The 309 from the Aggies tied for the sixth best round from the field of 11 top-50 teams.

“We did a better job today with our attitude beginning at hole one,” head coach Trelle McCombs said. “The team still made a couple mistakes that cost us some strokes today. Par is a great score on this course and we need to make sure that we are doing everything we can to card as many pars tomorrow as possible.”

Individually, Chelsea Mocio (82-73) made a 39-place jump in the standing moving into a tie for 21st after day-two, Mocio carded a one-over with three birdies on the day. Katerina Ruzickova (80-76) bounced back from a tough first day to shoot just four-over on Saturday and move into a tie for 27th, improving 20 places on the day.

“Chelsea played a vital role our improvement today,” McCombs added. “As a team, we really needed her to bounce back and have a great day ad she went out there and did that. I am very proud to see that sort of resilience and how she handled herself today.”
